[clop clop clop]
[boom boom]
[Mark Deshazo sings]

CLIFF YOUNG:
Geof! Geof, Tyrant of the Rumor Forum!
[Geof and Bartenders grovel]

Oh, don’t grovel!
[Deshazo stops]

One thing I can’t stand, it’s people groveling.

GEOF:
Yes, sir
[boom]

CLIFF YOUNG:
And don’t agree with me. Every time I try to talk to someone it’s ‘yes, sir, this’ and ‘you’re brilliant that’ and ‘I’m not worthy’.
[boom]
What are you doing now?!

GEOF:
I’m kissing your feet, O Cliff.

CLIFF YOUNG:
Well, don’t. It’s like those miserable Cover songs– they’re so depressing…not the way I arranged them at all…. Now, knock it off!

GEOF:
Yes, Cliff.

CLIFF YOUNG:
Right! Geof, Tyrant of the Rumor Forum, your Bartenders of the Random Board shall have a task to make them an example in these dark times.

GEOF:
Good idea, O Cliff!

CLIFF YOUNG:
‘Course it’s a good idea! Behold!
[Deshazo sings]
Geof, this is the Holy Hymnal. Look well, Geof, for it is your sacred task to seek this hymnal. That is your purpose, Geof: the quest for the Holy Hymnal.
[boom]
[Deshazo stops]

SIR TREY:
A blessing! A blessing from Cliff!

SIR RUMORSAGE:
CLIFF YOUNG be praised!
